Trump didn’t self fund his campaigns.


Early on he did, with a lot of his own money.

Trump has paid for the majority, but not all, of his presidential campaign out of his own pocket. Trump’s self-funding accounts for 72 percent of his campaign spending so far ($45.7 million in campaign loans and $63.3 million in expenditures as of May 31). Trump raised the remainder from mostly small donors.

Find me another person who did that!

Total campaign was $337 million of which $66 million was from Trump. That is 19%.

Small contributions: 25%

Large: 14%
